Now here's a neat storage idea—using photo storage boxes to organize your DMC cotton floss in color card order. I owe this link to Mary Corbet who mentioned it on her blog today.

I think these are the boxes that Mollie used.

It's a clever idea, isn't it? Note that my local Michael's doesn't carry the larger box to put the smaller colored ones in, just the small colored boxes. You may need to order this from the online Michael's to get exactly what Mollie used.
UPDATE: Pat of the Needleart Nut blog found the plain boxes within a larger box at her local Michael's and organized her Kreinik in them.
